The developmental basis of floral nectary diversity and evolution. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Nectar is a central bridge between angiosperms and animal mutualists. It is produced by specialized structures termed nectaries, which can be found on different plant organs. Consumption of floral nectar by pollinators and the subsequent transfer of pollen contribute to the reproductive success of both angiosperms and their pollinators.

Neuroprotective Effect of Sweet Potato Petiole and Leaf Dry-Powder in a Gerbil Model of Transient Cerebral Ischaemia. [PDF]
Vet Med SciContinuous intake of sweet potato petiole and leaf, rich in polyphenols, demonstrated the neuroprotective effects in a gerbil model of transient cerebral ischaemia. Pre‐ischaemic feeding of a diet containing sweet potato petiole and leaf tended to be more effective than post‐ischaemic feeding.

Morphology and Anatomy of Physical Dormancy in Ipomoea lacunosa: Identification of the Water Gap in Seeds of Convolvulaceae (Solanales) [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2007 Convolvulaceae is the most advanced plant family (asterid clade) that produces seeds with physical dormancy (water-impermeable seed coat). There are several different opinions about the nature of the specialized structure ('water gap') in the seed coat through which water initially enters seeds of Convolvulaceae, but none of them has been documented ...

Nutritional profiling of garden egg stalk Solanum macrocarpum L. (Solanales: Solanaceae) [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biological Sciences, 2018 This study was carried out to evaluate the nutritional properties of Solanum macrocarpum L. (Solanales: Solanaceae) (garden egg) stalk using standard methods. Sulphates and chloride were the most abundant anions while calcium and magnesium were the predominant mineral cations.

Thrips (Thysanoptera) Collected from Solanum dulcamara(Solanales: Solanaceae) in Washington and Idaho [PDF]
Florida Entomologist, 2016 Summary Bittersweet nightshade, Solanum dulcamara L. (Solanales: Solanaceae), was sampled at numerous locations in Washington and Idaho. Adults of 8 species of thrips (Thysanoptera) from 3 families were collected, including the worldwide plant pests Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) and Thrips tabaci Lindeman (Thripidae), which are vectors of the ...

Uneven HAK/KUP/KT Protein Diversity Among Angiosperms: Species Distribution and Perspectives [PDF]
, 2016 HAK/KUP/KT K+ transporters have been widely associated with K+ transport across membranes in bacteria, fungi, and plants. Indeed some members of the plant HAK/KUP/KT family contribute to root K+ uptake, notably at low external concentrations.
